<blockquote>
  <p>In today's fast moving, software based economy, it is imperative that
  software projects are delivered on time and on budget. Unfortunately,
  ineffective requirements management combined with changing requirements often
  leads to project failures. Rational Software Corporation has introduced a set
  of software management best practices, known as the <a href="http://www.rational.com/products/rup/index.jsp">Rational
  Unified Process</a> with the goal of providing repeatable processes and
  effective requirements gathering techniques to assist in software
  success.&nbsp;</p>
  <p>In this discussion, we will have a brief overview of Rational's
  Requirements Management with Use Cases process, which is a subset of the
  Rational Unified Process. The discussion will include examples of well
  structured use cases and how one might design a system from a series of use
  cases. By the end of this talk, you will have a high level understanding of
  effective requirements management, use case design, and how requirements drive
  ongoing design, test, and user documentation activities in your business.</p>
